The thing about blogging is that you make a grand statement saying, "I'm back, baby," and then life throws you a curveball and interrupts all your plans. For me, that curveball would be a Crohn's Disease flare up back in June. Although I recovered pretty quickly in physical terms, mentally I was a little shook up, and I just couldn't wrap my head around blogging.I enjoy writing and I enjoy connecting with others in the blogging community, but I also enjoy lying on the couch and not using my ...

Even though we're locked into a miserable heat wave here in Virginia, Ned Stark's words ring through my head, "winter is coming." I can't believe that August is almost here, basically the last month of summer. Yes, the heat and humidity will carry on through September, but us ladies will bravely rebel against it, sweating it out in our leggings and adorable booties we already bought at the Nordstrom Sale.Cardigan // Necklace // Booties (similar) // LeggingsSpeaking of the sale--Nordstrom clearly ...

I'm so happy the weekend is here! I've been feeling gloomy this week, for no particular reason at all, so I'm looking forward to a weekend spent with Matt and our girl.If you follow social media at all, then you've probably heard about a little thing called the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I'm sure by now you've been bombarded with "early access sale picks," so I'll try not to overwhelm you any further. Honestly, I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed myself! At one point, I had almost $700 worth of ... View the Post

My prediction on Monday was right---this week is definitely dragging. The weather has also been weird--overcast but still hot and humid, which always makes me feel like I'm in the middle of some YA, apocalyptic novel. I've been feeling kind of blah this week, and my thoughts are all over the place, so here are just a few thoughts for your Wednesday enjoyment!- The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost here! This is something that really puts me in a good mood. Early access for cardholders starts ... View the Post
